What happened to that? Why is there still a shortage of LPG in rural areas today?&quot;&nbsp;Kharge further questioned, &quot;In 2025-26, 5.56 crore families under the Ujjwala scheme didn&#39;t get even one or a single Refill. Out of these, 3.30 crore didn&#39;t take even a single cylinder Refill. And this is even before the West Asia Crisis. Isn&#39;t this the result of the Modi government&#39;s loot?&quot;&nbsp;The opposition leader asked, &quot;Mr. Modi and BJP leaders used to raise a ruckus about inflation during the UPA era. Isn&#39;t it true that the Modi government has increased domestic LPG prices by ₹530 in 12 years? So why aren&#39;t BJP leaders sitting on the streets with cylinders now?&quot;

Highlighting that in the last four months, the Modi government has hiked the prices of domestic LPG cylinders by ₹89, Kharge says, 'flames of rising domestic LPG prices are hell-bent on incinerating the kitchens of the common people.'
